I can’t see it can you?
And you know what, I think this season it’s a trade off. They’re trying to get some experienced pros in to make sure we stay up.
However, it’s going to harm the club in the long run.
We are now no longer a parachute club, so we don’t have a financial advantage anymore. Non-parachute clubs are reliant on finding players that either come in on the cheap and impact the first team enough to take them up OR make a big profit on so they can help support the club and sign the next batch of players at the same time.
We are signing players and assembling a squad that’ll will do neither of those things. We won’t be good enough to go up and no one we are bringing in will go on and provide us with a profit because their best days are behind them.
Wolves fans said Doherty’s legs had gone, he was slow and unavailable. He plays 60 odd minutes against Blackburn, isn’t able to start the next game in Seikis absence which forces us to chuck an inexperienced young lad in out of position. We then have to go out and look for another right back - so we go after a 28 year old defensive midfielder who Leicester can’t wait to give away, so he’ll never make us owt either.
if they’d come out and said ‘we are now no longer a parachute club, we need to cut our cloth and work on a 2/3/4 year plan’ and proceeded to look at young players, with high ceiling and potential re-sale value then I think a lot of the fans would have been slightly disappointed but see the bigger picture and been patient and reluctantly accepted 2/3 season of mediocrity for the greater good. We just don’t seem to have a plan for anything beyond this season
. At all.
